plebefic headers: a little heavy on rape

[cimorene]

1. [Summary] FYI - This story is a little heavy on rape, but it clears up after chapter 5.



2. Summary: "Over the phone, Gabriel. The goddamned phone."
   His older brother gave him an exasperated-yet-still-pissed-off look. "It ain't your business how I break up, lil'bro."
   
   "It is when it's Dean you're breaking up with!"



3. Prompt: Castiel is cursed mute, and the only way to break the curse is to make Dean figure out he loves him. Cas has to employ methods such as leaving love letters, baking heart-shaped cookies, and playing love songs for the oblivious hunter.



4. Author's note: I was writting other Dean/Castiel fic when this idea struck me like a bus and I had to stop everything else to put it down in words, it's 5:30 am and I finally finished it. Hope it is as good as my sleep deprived mind thinks it is.



5. Summary: Christian Kane is kinda... uh... have you been around people after they've been to the bar who need to use the facilities???

What. Just - wait. I don't understand number five; one is disturbing - like the rape is a case of acne, what? - while two is practically schizophrenic with all the different tones going on and I just don't know what to do with three and four. It's like a gold mine of WHAT.

Hahahhaa, I know.

Sadly, reading surreally bad and cracky plebefic (or headers) when sleep-deprived doesn't increase the trippiness (because that could get really fun), like with a bad Gary Oldman movie, it just makes them seem like they might actually make sense. Whereas reading headers (or fic) like this when completely sober gives me kinda the same experience as watching really bad early Oldman films drunk.

I totally get that. At 5:30 in the morning, any one of these would seem entirely reasonable (and probably readable) to me. That's how I read so much fic in college, most likely. When you're sleep-deprived and punchy, anything seems like a great idea.

Which can make for really hilarious browsing later in life if you record it anywhere. My delicious archive has some gems...

[foursweatervests]

Oh, don't remind me. The first - what, 30? - pages are all poorly-done high-school AUs and things that made me truly, deeply believe in the epic love of characters X and Y. Now I mainly use them to say "What was I thinking???"

[cimorene]

I didn't discover the comment feature until I'd bookmarked probably 500 or something mostly bad Prince of Tennis fics, many of which are actually written in incomprehensible English at times! XD I don't even have youth as an excuse because I didn't get delicious until I was 24. But I bookmarked... almost everything I read. Or everything that I didn't hate. Or everything that made me feel feelings I guess? The idea of recs only emerged gradually much later. So those are all almost totally useless.

It's funny; I apparently decided that I needed to bookmark everything I read - even if I hated it - and that I had to save to my hard drive all my favorites. I have this massive fic folder on my desktop that I never even look at anymore, since it's at least 5 years old, if not more. I, too, didn't discover the comments section until much, much later. I just have extremely strange tags on almost everything.

[cimorene]

That's almost exactly what I did! Everything except the things that I actually turned away from in disgust, or that genuinely pissed me off. It's fun when you stumble across a stranger's bizarre tags. It really livens up the delicious-surfing experience! I try to make mine searchable now though.

[foursweatervests]

I started getting hyper-strict with the way I tag things on my delicious just before the news broke about delicious being sunsetted, so I've kind of gotten lax in that department. But I definitely love searching through weird tags to try and figure out exactly what they were warning for/reccing/talking about. Sometimes I think people just write random words down for tagging JUST TO CONFUSE STRANGERS.

[cimorene]

The only tags I like better than the random words are the snarky ones. It's also really fun when I think they've tagged it with random words and it turns out to be the author's name, though.

[foursweatervests]

Oh, that's always sad. I get so excited, and then so let down, all in a matter of minutes.

"Wait, this fic is like CHOCOLATE? AWESOME! " ::zooms to read:: ::notices that author's name is like.chocolate:: ::DESPAIR::

this idea struck me like a bus

Argh! I am so tempted to change my DW's tagline to that.
